    Re: [RC] Pony & 5 yr. old - Alice Yovich


    Thanks and very good input!

    Maggie does like to visit the barn, catch her pony and brush him as much as ride. When I'm feeding and can't watch her ride every moment, I usually put a neck strap and a bridle on him and turn them loose in the small square arena so that they can putz together. I know she won't take off cantering with me not watching her bareback. She loves to trot and canter. She spends a fair amount of time standing up. I like riding with her b/c I find that micromanage her less when I ride too than when I "give her a lesson" Her form scares me to death sometimes, but it's not her fault, her body just doesn't always do what she wants it to.

    I think the end of this week I'll take her out and try her with my husband on a short trail. there has to be a first ride sometime.
